Williams can’t pass forward for toffee but he’s our next best option in midfield with experience and an ounce of quality in that role. Unless we dropped Scott back and put weimann in at attacking midfielder

If he stays and we do somehow manage to get to the prem with him still around, I reckon he could fetch grealish level fees. His rise could be very quick once he is in the prem, I’m thinking England first team within a year of him being a prem footballer

How did no one else try and steal him from us if there was a fairly low release clause? One of if not the best signing of the window in the efl apparently. Very excited to see what he brings but as others have said, need to give him time to step up a level and find his feet

I wonder if Luton are going to screw us over with cornick last minute for stealing away Naismith. Should be no reason to hold this up so late

Reject 10 mill to accept 9 mill. Some great negotiating there…..

Burnley’s admin has definitely stepped it up the last year. I thought our admin were the goats of social media. I think they’ve taken over the reigns albeit we’ve got no signings to announce

Genuinely who’s dick has to be sucked to get a penalty? Absolutely ridiculous week after week. Stonewall on wells yet suffer again with zero compensation . Probably just another apology that means nothing

They seem to be splashing out around 20 mill for similar players abroad. Aren’t foreign players supposed to be cheaper? Why would we let go for any less when they have lots of money and are desperate. Not to mention it’s January

Says it’s in cric free but there is just some bloody Mexican holiday stuff ?

Cricfree.tv should show it if you don’t mind dealing with the initial pop ups

I think from the point of our own club progression, I’m not bothered where semenyo goes so long as we are adequately compensated that allows us to improve the squad for the short and long term. He is the one player at risk of becoming a Fam/massengo so we need to move him on for as much money as possible

Bournemouth signing a winger from the French league May rule them out coming in for semenyo

Man City recalling Delap to be re-loaned to the championship. Wonder if we’ve enquired?

About time someone put their money where their mouth is.

Reckon a combined 30mill is doable and not unreasonable. Any more is a welcome bonus. As others have said, biggest factor is can we be trusted to spend the money wisely and set us up for a better future?

Wonder how much this will save us relative to ffp and amortisation if that is at all relevant - ignore, just read @Davefevs post above

Wonder if it would be a shout to sell him to Crystal Palace for cash and Ebiowie in permanent exchange or on loan?

Massively held back pre-world cup only to get 20 total minutes of play time…. He best be at it on his return

We’ll get 10mill at best for him IMO but probably closer to 5mill with add ons. Would take it though if it meant we could reinvest properly in Jan window

Can only see us getting somewhere between 6-10 mill max with a sell on included. But that’s still a decent sum to reinvest considering he cost us nothing

Yes I mean in January but you will of course tell me it’s not that straight forward. Bin off as in get rid of them. At least the ones that have basically not featured like kalas, massengo and Bentley who are in their last year anyway with zero intention to renew. Their wages could be better utilised elsewhere if we can offload them asap and might allow us to have a successful Jan window if we can sort their departures before then or early in the window.

Sell off semenyo for whatever we can get and reinvest. Scott is more influential so needs to stay. bin off the high earners running their contracts down (kalas, Bentley, massengo, wells) and we should then be in a much better place to reinvest wages on a more even keel

Personally think we should simply sell the Crown Jewels (Scott and semenyo) and use the money to reset and rebuild. we’re just going to waste time hanging on to them getting nowhere due to our financial burden

Romania has now worked for me.

I have DM’d Jerry but no response yet and I have asked the club on Twitter to sort it if possible
